This paper explores the concept of auditory envelopment (AE)\, which may have a stimulating effect similar to affecti ve touch—a sensation linked to specialized C-tactile nerve fibers and modu lated by non-neural pathways. AE\, distinct from listener envelopment (LEV ) in acoustical engineering\, is defined and examined through studies invo lving individuals aged 6 to 90. Participants identified abstract sounds be tween 40 and 700 Hz\, with AE inducement being the sole variable. Remarkab ly\, across ages\, descriptions of AE were consistent\, suggesting it is a fundamental percept\, possibly developed during gestation. The findings s uggest AE might be a previously underestimated aspect of pro audio and cha llenge the notion that 'hearing is first to come\, last to go\,' proposing instead that 'the feeling of AE' could be foundational. Practical implica tions include challenges in AE control across recording\, mixing\, distrib ution\, and reproduction\, with public theatres providing a more reliable environment for AE compared to domestic setups. The paper is research-base d and non-commercial.
